Cons: Does not measure anature, I find the red case and white lettering difficult to read since I have eye problems, I am now building a solar panel and without an amp measurement the instrument is useless.

Did you?

Pros: It works exactly as advertised. I've had no major issues at all.

Cons: Nothing major that I can think of. The caps on the probes are easy to lose. I lost the red one less than a month after I got it.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this for a circuit we were putting together for one of my classes. It was a memory circuit that connected to an 80286 over ISA, and we were doing mostly continuity and resistance testing, but also did voltage testing during processor simulations to make sure we wouldn't overvolt the processor or memory circuits.

I've used nearly all the lower voltage and resistance settings, as well as the continuity testing to check for secure connections. I have not used this multimeter to measure capacitance or amperage.

Cons: The biggest con with this is it does not test continuity like any multimeter user would expect, and like its description here says. There is NO continuity setting, and NO continuity beeper. To check continuity with this you'd have to switch it to test resistance, and watch the screen for a zero reading; not cool at all.

The feel of this is extremely low-end; cheap plastic which is mostly hollow. You might forget and think you're holding a baby's toy.

If this weren't so cheap I'd make it my first-ever merchandise return that isn't due to damage; I'm not someone who usually returns anything, but I'm that dissatisfied with this. As it is, this will just get thrown into the back of my junk drawer as an emergency backup unit and forgotten about.

Other Thoughts: I wasn't expecting much for the low price, but this is just a waste of time and 25 bucks. If you're looking for a cheap multimeter, add another five or ten bucks to your budget and get one that isn't quite as awful as this.

Pros: This tool makes it easy to confirm that the AC power is off before you start doing electrical work to avoid getting a shock. It's easier to use than a multimeter/voltmeter and cheaper. It's an essential tool for doing electrical work.

Cons: This is a no frills version. It doesn't have a sensitivity adjustment so it doesn't work for low voltage like some other versions, but I didn't need any other features. This type of tool doesn't test for DC voltage.
